COOLING SYSTEM.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented @ept. 3, llWifi.

Application filed may 21, 1917. Serial No. 169,996.

This invention relates to certain improve-' ments in cooling systems for internal combastion engines, and has relation more particularly to a system of this general character wherein water or the like is employed; and it is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved system wherein air is forced directly through the water for carrying off a certain percentage .more fully set forth.

The novel features of the invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings; wherein The figure is a diagrammatical view, partly in elevation and partly in section, of a system arranged in accordance with an embodiment of my invention.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings; E denotes an internal combustion en .gme of any ordinary 0r preferred type and provided with a jacket J in communication with the upper portion of a radiator inlet through the connection C. The lower portion of the radiator R and the jacket J have in communication therewith an out-' let connection pipe 0. It is thought to be self-evident that the system as hereinbefore referred to is of a well-knownthermo-siphon cooling system type. V

or preferred type and which is adapted to be driven in any desired manner, either directly from the engine or by a par-toperated thereby. The pump P has a discharge pipe 1 leading to the lower portion of the jacket J, at the side of the jacket remote from the radiator and a second or branch pipe 2 leading to the lower portion of the radiator R. It will be self-evident that upon operation of the pump, air will beforced through the water within the jacket J, and through the water within the radiator R, and that such air will escape through the opening 3 in the radiatorcap 4.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that. a cooling system constructed in accordance with my invention is of an extremely simple and comparatively inexpensive nature and is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which'it may be assembled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the princi les' and spirit thereof and for this reason do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice, except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim:

In combination with an internal, combustion engine provided with a water jacket anda radiator, said radiator having its top portion and bottom portion in communication, respectively. with the top portion and bottom portion of said jacket, the top of the radiator being provided therethrough with a constantly opened port, a source of air supply, and means leading from the source and dlschargmg within the lower portion of the side of the water jacket remotefrom the radiator and the lower portion of the radiator.

In testimony whereof I hereunto ailix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
